He was a devoted son of his parents and a good brother to his brother, my friend and very beloved to his friends and friends Ami was drafted into the IDF in mid-August 1967 and assigned to the Armored Corps. He took a tank commander course and participated as a tank commander in the War of Attrition after the Six-Day War, in the canal area. After the liberation he studied economics and statistics at the Hebrew University. Ami won impressive grades. His teachers note his serious attitude to studies and his diligence, which earned him impressive achievements. The works he submitted to his teachers were original and attested to the maturity of thought and creativity. The most outstanding of these was the one Ami submitted shortly before the Yom Kippur War: a seminar paper on economics, on the subject of “the factors that influenced the actions of the Bank of Israel since its establishment.” This work was awarded a special grade and was published in the book “chapters in economics” (seminar papers and final works, made by students of the Department of Economics, who fell in the Yom Kippur War) published by the Hebrew University. While studying at the university, Ami worked at the “Soldiers House” in Jerusalem. He liked his co-workers and offered help to the soldiers and all the people in the house. The management of Beit Hahayal devoted a corner to his memory. Just three months before the war broke out, Ami was accepted to work as an economist in the Department of Prices in the Ministry of Trade and Industry. He debated whether to work or dedicate all his time to continuing his master’s degree studies, and was convinced by the director of the department that his work had a national purpose, as a contribution to the economic establishment of the state. In his work at the Trade and Industry Ministry, Ami also excelled and the director expected his rapid progress in responsible positions. As a student, he was a shrewd man, very inquisitive and inquisitive, a creative entrepreneur, and an outstanding articulator.
